Pamela made her first travel over the Atlantic Ocean when she was only two months old in the year of 1975, leaving Munich to live in Ecuador for the following five years. Ever since then, she established her five year rhythm to change locations and languages. The only place she would call home from childhood on is the mediterranean island of Formentera.
Berlin became her main base in 1995, at the right time in the right place to experiment the wild post-wall era. In 1999, she started her first job in journalism as a photo editor at the german newspaper DIE ZEIT.
In 2000, she bought her first Hasselblad camera and left to Madrid to work as a portrait photographer until the year 2005.
Berlin awoke from the ashes to become the European hot spot for adventure seekers and start up entrepreneurs. Pamela worked for EL PAIS and other spanish media covering reportages all over Germany and later on becoming head of photography of the monthly magazine dedicated to the art and culture of football 11FREUNDE. With other colleagues, she ran a gallery for contemporary photography during six years in Berlin named PAVLOV'S DOG. Currently working for DIE WELT and WELT AM SONNTAG.
With her husband she hiked during twenty years all over the world gaining knowledge of how to survive in nature. Now divorced, she hikes on her own.
Turning forty one years in 2016, she changed her life style and got rid of her belongings to lead a life of minimalism on the road.
